Does anyone know this is a 52 Sharps carbine bullet. found in Pennsylvania 20160614_213740.jpg20160614_213813.jpg
 

Sorry to have to tell you, the answer is no, not a .52 Sharps bullet... it is a modern era "semi-wadcutter" bullet. Made for target practice shooting, the name comes from the bullet having a wide flat head to punch a very easily visible hole in a paper target.
